SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The primary purpose of these meetings is to 
continue work on several issues relative to capacity in the finfish 
limited entry fishery. This work is in response to a Council request 
for the CPSMT and CPSAS to develop recommendations for a capacity goal 
for the limited entry fishery and several other capacity-related 
issues, including transferability of limited entry permits. The CPSMT 
and CPSAS are scheduled to provide their recommendations to the Council 
at the April 2001 Council meeting.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in the CPSMT/CPSAS 
meeting agenda may come before the CPSMT and/or CPSAS for discussion, 
those issues may not be the subject of formal CPSMT nor CPSAS action 
during these meetings. CPSMT and/or CPSAS action will be restricted to 
those issues specifically listed in this document and any issues 
arising after publication of this document that require emergency 
action under section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the 
public has been notified of the CPSMT's and/or CPSAS's intent to take 
final action to address the emergency.
